ABSTRACT: This paper provides a comparison between three different communication protocols, in order to highlight the best solution in data transmission for electric vehicle charging stations. In order to succeed the above comparison two different simulation platforms were joined and adopted. First of all, two wired and one wireless communication protocols are selected. For wired interface and data transmission, the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) protocols were used. The first is a widespread protocol used in many applications for several decades (since the late 1980s), while the second is a newer technology that appeared at the beginning of the new millennium (in 2001 the key standards of the model proposed by the IETF work group was published) and is gaining increasing support. Similar to the wired networking, a well-known protocol for wireless networking, which proves to be reliable under any test, is compared. This is IEEE 802.16e-2005 or Mobile WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access). Mobile WiMAX (originally based on 802.16e-2005) is the revision that was deployed in many countries and is the basis for future revisions such as 802.16m-2011. The technology was designed in its entirety to offer wireless communication in metropolitan networks and to provide competitive services to the existing wired network technologies.
